Tea, tea, tea

This morning it was once again raining heavily, but after we called the nature's bluff and decided to go out anyway, showered and prepared everything, the rain had stopped. We walked down the Sunset Beach to Granville Island ferry, and spent a lovely afternoon mainly sitting at Granville Island Tea company chatting with the owners Mark and Debbie (who is in the photo between us) and other customers.

It's not that often that you get the change to talk about tea about people who are even more passionate about tea than you. We drank tea by the cups - I tried a wonderful organic oolong and a second flush Darjeeling, Chu tried a scented black tea and a rooibos. I think I was lucky to escape with only two bags of tea, Chu bought six and we promised to be back next week. It was so nice - we got some special treatment for being Finns (all Canadians seem to have some Finn-stories to tell when they hear our nationality), and we discussed hockey (of course) and saunas and aeroplanes with Mark and couple of other customers sitting on the table. Very nice, and the sun even got out by the time we left.

I love Granville Island, the tea, the food, the fruits, the people, the athmosphere, everything.
